On to Haydon IV! The third planet of the system...huh?

The Sentinels have escaped from Praxis and have freed Garuda, but at a price. Many of the crew, including the Hunters have been poisoned by the atmosphere of Garuda and now they go to Haydon IV, both to find the cure and to free another planet. But that might be easier said than done, as the planet is a relic that can defend itself AND the Regent is waiting for them. To add to that, not only is General Edward running the REF, but the Zentraedi forces, under Breetai, have taken the last of the monopole ore, which is needed if the human forces ever wish to see Earth again!While this is all going on, an important question starts to pop up again and again; WHO WAS HAYDON?"We vowed to be your allies, but never your slaves or your victims." - Breetai

A classic tale of Good vs Evil and those caught in between.

This tale is about a group of futuristic, and at times barbaric, heros whose story started several years before. Only this time the battle takes place far away from Earth in an attempt to save it. Caught between internal politics with a touch of traitors and the enemy, a hive-like race of genetically engineered beings with a lust for power, in their mission of liberation against this race. Will they prevail? Find out in this book and the next one, Rubicon!

The Best Of All The Five Sentinels Books By A Mile!

The refreshing change from the usual battle to drama to battle to drama again sequence is one of the best elements of this book. Also, McKinney managed to twist the plot so much as to increase reader curiosity without damaging the main plot (this book has the most fanfics written about it) by exploring interpersonal relationships out of battle or high drama and particularly loved Karen and Jack's interplay throughout the book. One more interesting note:This issue had reader focus going on three main fronts (I'm not at liberty to say which ones) and at the same time enthralled with the subplots McKinney dotted here and there. Deserves more than five out of five (And no, I did not want to read Rubicon after this- I made my own fanfic- that's how fun it was.)

Excellent! A well plotted book, action-filled to the brim.

It was very interesting and had a very good balance of suspense:not to little and not to much. It gave a very good idea of the situation the characters were in.It had a lot of information describing weapons,mecha.etc. Jack McKinney is one of the best authors around.
